VOL. XX. MARCH, 1909. NO. 6 

America's Conspicuous Jfailnre. 

(Oration delivered by Haines Burgess at the State Oratorical 
Contest at Corvallis, Ore., March 12.) 

When we survey our American Republic we are 
wont to assume the role of the optimist. Our hearts 
overflow with patriotism and pride as we recount her 
achievements and note her progress, and we do not 
hesitate to predict a wonderful development for her 
future. We like to think of the time when our fathers 
unitedly resisted England's oppression and established 
our government on its firm foundation. Later the 
principle of federation confronted us, and brave and 
conscientious men on each side gave their lives for its 
settlement 

Time has passed, changes have come and new 
problems present themselves for solution. Foremost 
among these is the government of our cities. This 
question is civil, not military. We need today not better 
equipped navies, not larger standing armies, but more 
efficient statesmen. 

In all ages the city has been the center of learning 
and industry and by its record we measure the whole 
country. Babylon, Jerusalem, Athens, Rome; all tell 
the story of their respective nations. In the early in- 
fancy of our republic there was not the marked trend, 
as there is now of the population toward the city. Un- 
limited natural resources held men close to nature. 
But because of the transition from muscular to mechanic-

al power in agriculture because of the unparalleled 
growth of railways, and because of immigration our 
cities have grown by leaps and bounds. Only four per 
cent of our population was urban in 1800, but in 1900 
this four per cent had increased to thirty-three per cent, 
and if this marvelous rate continues until 1940 America 
will be a nation of cities. Her city population will ex- 
ceed her rural by thirty-one million souls. Then with 
the city possessing not only a majority of population, 
but also the leaders in all lines of thought and action, 
it is evident that on the solution of the problem of 
American municipal government, hinges the future 
greatness of the republic. The policy of the city will, 
in the nature of things, become the policy of the nation. 

The Honorable James Bryce has said that America's 
one conspicuous failure is her city government Can 
any thoughtful citizen deny this charge? In the great 
centers of population simplicity and industrial freedom 
have been replaced by complexity. Poverty exists close 
beside a barbarous luxury. The home with all it sig- 
nifies has been supplanted by the hotel, the tenement, 
and cheap lodging house. Unsanitary conditions have 
increased the death rate and infectious diseases ravage 
the crowded quarters. 

"Is it well that while we range with science, glorying in the 
time, 

City children soak and blacken soul and sense in city slime? 
There among the glooming alleys Progress halts on palsied 
feet. 

Crime and hunger cast our maidens by the thousand on the 
street. 

There the master scrimps his haggard seamstress of her daily 
bread, 

There a single sordid attic holds the living and the dead. 
There the smouldering Are of fever creeps across the rotted 
floor, 

And the crowded couch of incest in the warrens of the poor." 



THE CRESCENT

Is it any wonder that under these conditions un- 
numbered crimes are committed and that the state of 
morality is low? 

Hand in hand with these physical and moral 
conditions goes political corruption. In the manage- 
ment of any great city, business must be conducted on a 
mammoth scale. In caring for its welfare enormous 
sums of money must be expended. The budget of New 
York City shows an annual expenditure of twenty two 
millions for schools alone, about one half this amount 
for street construction, to say nothing of similar expend- 
itures for her police and fire departments, her water- 
works and wharves, making the grand total of one 
hundred seventy five millions. It is evident that it is 
extremely dangerous to entrust the handling of this 
great sum to men incompetent and untrustworthy. 
But this we have done in our cities. In the onward 
rush of commercialism Americans have sacrified the 
public weal for private gain. With the cities increasing 
municipal problems we have failed to place in office 
men capable of grappling with these momentous 
qustions. Seats of public trust are filled by those who 
never had patriotic heart throb and whose only object 
is to plunder the public treasury. The poor, the igno- 
rant, the floating population, the foreign population fall 
an easy prey to these unscrupulous bosses. Tammany 
in New York, the machine in Philadephia, the 
city councils of Pittsburg and St Louis and Abe 
Ruef in San Francisco are striking examples of the 
domination of bossism and political corruption. 

Are we to conclude from these conditions that there 
is no hope for our cities? Look at England and note 
the wonderful transition from the corruption of the 
Mediaeval towns to the stability of her modern great

cities. There were only twenty-four homicides in all 
London last year as compared with one hundred and 
twenty-four similar cases in Chicago, the great metropo- 
lis of the Middle West. Allowing for their difference 
in population, the chances of being murdered in cold 
blood are sixteen times greater in this city of free 
America than in the metropolis of the world. Germany, 
too, has solved the problem of city government. What 
these two countries have accomplished America is 
beginning to accomplish. The spirit of reform has 
already quickened our cities from New York to San 
Francisco. Galveston, Des Moines and other cities are 
handling the question of city government as a business 
proposition. In the larger cities where the apathy and 
irresponsibility of good men have at times seemed in- 
surmountable, the strong hold of the demagogue is being 
assailed with a determination that bespeaks victory. 
Jacob Riis, Charles Parkhurst and President Roosevelt 
have educated the public conscience of New York until 
its citizens are demanding reform. The city of ' 'Brother- 
ly Love" a few years ago "corrupt and contented" has 
shaken off the lethargy and by the efforts of the council 
of seventy has overthrown bossism and shattered the 
power of the machine. One man made St Louis a new 
city. Pittsburg's corrupt council is under public con- 
demnation and reform is assured. Look at San Francis- 
co. Two years ago it was as clay in the hands of the 
political potter, Abraham Ruef. With his "gang" of 
followers he swayed the scepter of power throughout 
the whole city. Franchises or corporate licenses were 
issued or withheld at his bidding and he controlled the 
keys to the public till. But things could not always 
remain thus. This man and his corrupt minority 
perished before the undaunted efforts of two men im-

bued in civic patriotism, Claus Spreckles and Francis 
J. Heney. 

However this is only the beginning of the solution. 
So long as the present electoral system prevails, so long 
as the honest and competent citizen is interested only 
in his party and national affairs, and ignores the 
business and political interests of the city in which he 
and his children must live, so long will the boss continue 
to flourish. When our city elections are conducted by 
citizens inspired with a sense of patriotism, and not by 
a demagogue, when city government with its issues of 
business ceases to be confused with national politics, 
when men of integrity and ability demand the adoption 
of business methods in municipal government, then and 
only then will we reach the final solution. 

The cry of the hour is not for a new patriotism, 
but for a new expression of the old principle.. We do 
not need men to charge up San Juan Hill, but men who 
will dare to force the ramparts of the city's guilt, men 
who are neither moved by public applause nor private 
interests, but by principle. We must continue with 
renewed vigor our warfare against this municipal cor- 
ruption and demand better sanitary conditions and more 
business-like policies. When men of ability and integ- 
rity are thoroughly aroused the faithless minority will 
be routed, the greatest blot on our political history will 
be erased and America's Conspicuous Failure will be 
transformed into America's Conspicuous Success. 



^Brotherhood of the Cmptp &feulL 



This name is applied, and is well suited, to - a cer- 
tain class of people whom we meet on every hand in

THE CRESCENT 



our daily life. In our business life, our school life, and 
especially in our social life, these brethren present them- 
selves as a hindrance to the cause of right, and a great 
help to the wrong. Perhaps they do not directly oppose 
right, the majority of them do not, but if we examine 
their lives more closely, we will see that their influence 
is for the wrong. 

This class of people may be compared to a large se- 
cret order, no person is too high, or none too low to be 
a member. Again, it is unlike a secret order in that 
there is no secret about it The only requirements for 
admission are that a person neglect all the things that 
tend to lead toward a useful life, and follow the crowd. 

The business world is by no means free from such 
people. Until we stop awhile, we do not realize how 
many of these persons there are who are active business 
men, and still belong to the B. of E. S. There are men 
who are at the head of large business concerns, who 
are looked upon by all as reliable men, who never think 
of the needs of the poor and uneducated people around 
them. They never think seriously about the needs of 
their town or city, and are never active in public work. 

We see more of this class of people in society than 
anywhere else. They do not generally like to work, so 
they fall back on society and seek to secure the respect 
of the world in this way. Unless they have inherited 
money, as many of them have, they must necessarily 
live on borrowed or squandered money. The literature 
that these people read is not generally of the class that 
will build up a person's mind. It includes, of course, 
the newspapers, for they pride themselves in being well 
posted on current topics. Besides the newspapers their 
reading matter is mostly fiction, generally of the worst 
kind.

It bas been said that it is the empty wagon that rat- 
tles worst. This is true of all people. When a few 
emyty skulled persons get together there is no limit to 
their conversation, i. e. to the amount of it. They talk 
for hours, and yet they say nothing. 

Another branch of this class of people, probably the 
worst, is that to which belong the loafers and bums 
which block the streets of every town and city. It is 
not necessary to describe them here, as everyone is ac- 
quainted with them. They are too common to be un- 
known. 

We have considered briefly three branches of The 
Brotherhood of the Empty Skull: those who are active 
business men, those who figure in society, and those 
who have nothing to do but idle their time away on the 
sidewalks or in the stores. Out of these come the worst 
characters we have to deal with. They furnish nearly 
all the material for the crimes of the country; swindlers, 
counterfeiters and fakers almost invariably spring from 
this class. When we look for good points among them 
we seldom find them. The name which we have applied 
to them is surely very appropriate.

Oh for action on the thought 

Which troubled sleep upon me brought. 

If I had only entered in 

And kept the treacherous one from sin, 

Another soul on earth would be, 

And by its light we all might see 

Things that are just and right 

0 murky hag which I did see—

The one which talked with him and me - 
You trifled with the heart of sin 
And led its false ambition in. 

Did you not know the thoughts that in him 
burned, 

Which through their mastery his soul o'er- 
turned, 

And in the deepest shades of reeling night 
Gave leave to Duncan's soul to take its flight? 
Yet why should I give way to grief and tears 
While life and health upon me is bestowed? 
I'll see that right is done in future years, 
And Duncan shall have justice, this I've vowed.

fln Jnbtan fttorp. 

It was at sunrise one May day in the dawn of the 
nineteenth century that a band of settlers embarked in 
the sail boat Good Hope, bound for New York, for new 
homes in the territory which was then the frontier of 
Pennsylvania. 

Among the passengers aboard was a man, perhaps 
thirty years of age, tall, stalwart, muscular. His dark 
wavy hair matched well his frank black eyes which be- 
spoke a spirit hopeful and persevering. By his side 
was his wife, a woman a few years his junior, holding 
in her arms a plump little child upon whom she was 
want to fix her fond blue eyes as only a mother can. 
Leaning over the railing, watching the greenish blue 
waves dashed into foam by the prow of the boat was 
their little boy of eight years. John and Mary Carter 
with their children Alice and Clarence were enroute for 
that fertile land in the interior of Pennsylvania. 



THE CRESCENT

For nearly a week the Good Hope sailed along the 
Atlantic coast until she reached the Chesapeake bay, 
then for nearly two weeks up the Susquehannah river 
until they came to a place very suitable for building 
their homes and cultivating farms. The place selected 
was completely covered with pines and hemlocks but 
the ground was elevated from the bank of the river and 
sloped upward toward a large hill several miles away. 
The soil was tested and found to be most fertile. 

The boat returned down the river and the settlers 
set to work cutting down trees and hewing them into 
shape for log cabins. 

The clearings grew larger and larger and where 
once grew the dense forest now were gardens of cab- 
bage, lettuce and corn. There were numerous bands of 
Indians which inhabited the country, but these were 
very friendly toward the settlers and regarded them 
with curious interest. 

With the passing of the years the number of inhab- 
itants in the little settlement increased rapidly. Clar- 
ence was now a husky lad of thirteen, able to assist his 
father much by working in the garden or clearing the 
forests. Alice was only seven, but her merry laughter 
and playful disposition was a source of great cheerful- 
ness to her parents. 

One day when their little community seemed most 
propitious, like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky there 
came the horrible blood-curdling yells of the savage— 
the summons to a cold blooded, merciless massacre. 

In vain was every attempt at defense. The tomaT 
hawk was sunk into their skulls before the men could 
prime their weapons. The women, some fainting, some 
pleading for mercy, met the same fate, only sometimes 
with added horrors of seeing the brains of their infant

children dashed out as the savage axe descended upon 
them. 

It happened that Clarence and his little Bister were 
picking flowers that day in a meadow some distance 
from the house. To those who escaped and hid in the 
woods the fate of the two children was not known, and 
could not he ascertained. Those who escaped— ten in 
number— worked their way continuously toward the 
south and east, and finally by aid of a friendly tribe of 
Indians, reached Philadelphia. Among these were John 
and Mary Carter, sad and disheartened because of the 
loss of their children. 

Years passed by during which the search for infor- 
mation concerning Alice and Clarence did not cease. 
But all was in vain. They probably had been killed be- 
fore the village had been destroyed. 

Just twelve years after that fatal day, John and 
Mary, now gray haired because of their sorrow, were 
walking down the street in a little town in New Jersey. 
Seeing a band of Indians who had come to town to 
trade, they stopped them and told their story, as they 
had done so many times before. Here at last they 
found a clew. An old wrinkled Indian who had taken 
part in that fight told them the children had been taken 
captive by the chief who had a particular fondness for 
white children, but had been since captured by a tribe 
in Delaware. 

The parents at once with renewed hope went to the 
Indian camp in the western part of that state. There 
before a wigwam sitting around the fire was a number 
of the Indians, and among them was one less dark than 
the rest whom the rejoicing parents recognized, by the 
likeness to his father, to be their long lost son. 

With unfeigned delight the young man embraced 



THE CRESCENT

them and led the way to the tent of his sister. 

She was seated on a rug in a dark wigwam holding 
a little papoose. She listened to the story with much 
interest, and was glad to see her parents. But she 
loved her Indian husband, loved the little copper colored 
babe and could not be persuaded to leave the environ- 
ments in which she had lived so long. 

Mr. and Mrs. Carter returned to their home in Phil- 
adelphia with their son, happy in the knowledge of the 
life of their children, yet sad for the continued loss of 
their living daughter.

On Friday evening, Feb, the 26th, P. C. met Mc- 
Minnville on the home floor and played an aggressive 
game throughout. Although it was not a brilliant game 
it was a hard fought game on both sides. The lineup 
of the teams was:

anced team before he got hurt. He played in the Phi- 
lomath games and will play in the Y. M. C. A. game 
the 27th. 

The score was 18 to 19 in favor of McMinnville. 



PHILOMATH VS. P. C. 

On Saturday evening, March 13, after attending 
the oratorical contest at Corvallis and banqueting until 
3 a. m. the basket ball team from P. C. went to Philo- 
math to play and be defeated in a game which could 
not be named. There were no side lines and the big 
huskies of Philomath could heave the Quakers against the 
wall or to the floor with ease. It was rough, and fouls 
were the feature of the game. 

At the end of the game the score stood 43 to 21 in 
favor of Philomath. 



THE GAME AT P. C. 

On the following Friday, the 19th of March, Phi- 
lomath again met the Newberg team. This time the 
game was better and the P. C. boys won by a score of 
22 to 19. Philomath again had the referee and although 
the players played a fair game and tried to make a good 
game of it the referee was not entirely satisfactory. 
Good feeling existed throughout the game and both 
teams fought a good fight The Quaker lads had shot 
after shot at the basket but failed to cage them as they 
should. There were thirteen fouls called on P. C. of 
which three were thrown successfully. Hammer suc- 
ceeded in making five good shots out of the eight tries 
from the foul line.

chosen indiscreetly. The elections of the other asso- 
ciations should also be seriously considered before elec- 
tion day. 



We have heard much of neglected chances and re- 
sources. When there is a need and still the resources 
are being left undeveloped we, who feel the need, can- 
not but regret it the more. At present our laboratory 
space is inadequate and is taken up with other classes 
much of the time. We fear that through the inadequate 
room many students will be driven from our school. 
All this seems the more inexcusable when with but 
little expense an excellent chemical laboratory could be 
fitted up in the south end of the basement. We hope 
that this matter will be soon taken in hand.

Prof. Reagan— "Dickens makes a great many

isn't it?" 

With a derby hat, a large suit case and a dignified 
air Roy Mills stepped into a store in Corvallis. He 
waited for some time and no one came to wait on him. 
He knew not why but after a time the proprietor came 
up and asked if he would have anything. Roy explain- 
ed what he wished. "0, 1 beg your pardon," says the 
man, "I thought you were a drummer. " Next time, 
Roy, leave the derby and dignified air at home. 

Ask the Sherwood delegation if they enjoy the

Nathan defines a cowslip as a jersey on an ice pond.

Ask Hadlock if all hotels have beds behind the

Confession is good for the soul: Says Olin: "I am 
an error of nature." 

On Saturday evening, March 20, an excellent pupils' 
recital was given in the college chapel. Another musi- 
cal entertainment of much value will be the song recital 
to be given by Prof. Alexander Hull on Friday evening, 
March 26, at the college chapel. 

Misses Ola and Lucy Mills were chapel visitors on 
Wednesday, March 17. 

In an interesting and instructive talk on the adapt- 
ability of the English language to being sung, Prof. 
Hull recently defended our mother tongue against the 
prevalent attacks of a few would-be famous artists.

He says that with our abundance of folk-lore, dramatic, 
lyric, and epic poetry, besides our freedom from the 
gutterals and nasals of the German and French, our 
language would easily rank first as a language for 
musical composition. To be sure, we shall yet long be 
handicapped by our scarcity of first class artists, and 
the extreme difficulty of translating songs into English. 



The excellent girls glee club of Friends University, 
whose picture appeared in University Life for Feb. 25, 
is indicative of a strong, aggressive school spirit. F. 
U. was lately the recipient of thirty-eight casts from 
original Babylonian specimens. These were obtained 
through kindness of the Board of the department of 
Archeology of the University of Pennsylvania. 

The Review for March has an excellent story en- 
titled "The Girl in Brown." 

The Norton County High School Quill is one of our 
best high school exchanges. Its diversity of material 
gives it a wide interest. 

It always speaks well of a college when their paper 
contains alumni notes in each issue. The Earlhamite 
speaks eloquently on this by giving a full page of 
alumni notes twice a month. 

We are glad to welcome the Willamette Collegian 
again this month.
